S. aureus CSs were analyzed by SDS-PAGE (4–20% gradient gel, BioRad, #456-1096) under reducing conditions. Proteins were transferred to PVDF (Hla, LukG and LukS-PV) or nitrocellulose membranes (LukD, HlgB) (Trans-Blot Turbo device, BioRad). Hla, LukD, and HlgB were detected using monospecific human IgGs, LukS-PV with a monoclonal mouse antibody (IBT Bioservices) and LukG expression using a rabbit anti-LukB (LukG) polyclonal antibody (IBT Bioservices) as described previously28 (link). Recombinant toxins expressed in E. coli28 (link) were used as positive controls.
